DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Comfort and Fit
The 360° elastic adjustment system molds to your head's shape without feeling tight. On the water, you'll feel the secure hold when you carve into a turn or pick up speed; the helmet stays put, eliminating annoying shifts. The ear protectors reduce water entry while maintaining excellent hearing, so you stay aware of your surroundings.
Certified Safety
The NF EN812 certification confirms the helmet's ability to absorb the light impacts common in watersports. Its soft shell is designed to minimize cuts and protect against impacts with hard surfaces like reef. We highly recommend this feature if you ride at rocky spots or when your sessions get intense.
Construction and Feel
The soft shell delivers a less rigid feel than a traditional plastic helmet, providing more progressive shock absorption and fewer pressure points. Its lightweight design ensures it's comfortable to wear, even in warm weather. This combination of a secure fit and flexibility minimizes chafing and discomfort throughout your session.
On-Water Performance
On the water, the helmet stays stable even in chop and wind. You'll maintain great hearing thanks to the ear protectors, which are designed to reduce water noise at high speeds. For Surf and foil, the secure fit stops the helmet from shifting during maneuvers, cutting down on distractions so you can focus completely on your line.
Buying Advice
Choose your size based on your head circumference: S-M for 54-58 cm or L-XL for 58-62 cm. If you're unsure, we recommend trying it on in-store to check the fit of the 360° system and the comfort around your ears. The helmet is compatible with a lycra or a hood for colder sessions.
